Tom Jones apologizes for past snub of John Lennon during 1975 performance
Sir Tom Jones has apologized for his past behavior towards John Lennon during a performance in 1975. After a long-standing feud, Jones snubbed Lennon by pulling away when they were about to shake hands. He now calls this reaction "stupid" and "uptight." The incident occurred during a tribute show for Sir Lew Grade, which became Lennon's last televised performance. Jones recalled feeling uncomfortable with the situation, admitting he should have handled it better. He previously expressed anger after Lennon mocked his hit song, "It's Not Unusual." Tonight, Sir Tom will perform at the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall, joining other artists for the event.
